Christmas Eve mornin' baby I was on my way back home to you
Christmas Eve mornin' baby I was on my way back home to you
It was your love that kept me fighting, kept me safe the whole war through
It seems a long time since I been fightin' the Japs 'cross the deep blue sea
It seems a long time since I been fightin' the Japs 'cross the deep blue sea
Yes, that's why I'm so glad darlin', to have a li'l wife love still waitin' for me
It's so great to have you darlin', to have a li'l wife like you
It's so great to have you darlin', to have a li'l wife like you
My three brothers couldn't make it but they say happy new year to you
